On January 28, 1918 , the crack and bang of gunfire broke the silence in the air. Bullets cut through the night air and ripped through the bodies of  15 men of Mexican Descent,  Texans,  fathers, sons, brothers, and tios. These bullets killed 15 innocent men and boys; 15 men and boys of a little village in a west Texas town of Porvenir.  The night of the massacre at Porvenir set in motion a chain of events that would forever change the face of the historical Texas Rangers.
